ABSTRACT The objectives of this study were to develop organogelators suitable for industrial use and to probe the viscosity-increasing mechanisms of such organic compounds. Butane 1,2,3,4-tetracarboxamides, new organogelators that each have four chemical side chains, were synthesized. Two oleyl groups, each with another two side chains that vari...
